Firm Support Software has been building Alpha Software business solutions since 1993. Firm Support Software founder John Bowen started his consulting career building applications in Alpha Four Ver 2.1, progressed through the various versions of the DOS product. When Alpha Software's Windows version, Alpha Five was introduced, John co-authored a book to assist users in migrating from Alpha Four (A4) to Alpha Five (A5).

John was also a frequent contributor to the Alpha Forum and eventually Firm Support purchased the monthly newsletter publication from Sherry and Jay Martin. Under the ownership of Firm Support Software, Alpha Forum was converted to an online newsletter and continued to serve the Alpha Software developer and user community form several years.

Over the years, Firm Support Software has built multiple database applications for many customers including Avon Products IT department, Rand McNally Maps and many others. Our experience in developing Alpha Software solutions will make Firm Support Software the perfect partner for your application development.
